steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 22hBryce, buddy. It's okay to check down and throw your te delay here. #GoBlue 000
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Well, that will not deter my theory of throws (that you should shift them to the opposite side as quickly as possible). Great little win to flick the header backwards. Great pounce. 000
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Took a few days but with that fast break defensive clearance deflecting off the attacker and over the keeper we did in fact find another way to lose. How many more can we collect before season's end? 000
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I'd advise not rewinding so you don't have to watch Berg Johnsen totally ignore Gomez. #SportingKC 000
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Counter to broadcast commentary, the US didn't score that corner goal cause of zonal marking; they scored it cause of bad zonal marking. The zoner whose job it should have been left to chase shadows forward. He had been perfectly placed to attack the ball Richards was left to attack on his own. 001
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 27/09/2026We're really testing our ability to blow a lead now. Multiple goals AND a man up? What new manners of defeat await. #SportingKC 000
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Hilarious to remember that Armas started this season trying to cast both Bethune and Hopkins as wide players. #KCBaby 061
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Wicky cannot be manager past this season. He took a whipping that 2nd half. Quinn Sullivan changed that game, and we made him look like Andre Luiz while giving our own Luiz (and Harris) most of the half off. Continuing to try Afrifa in physical battles with giant Pierre instead... #SportingKC 120
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 20/09/2026We have finally scored our 1st set piece or corner goal of the season, but we're still -2.5 on my set piece charting for the year because we've conceded 4 goals from our own goal kicks. But hopefully the negatives are all behind us. This game is a stake for only positives from here on. #SportingKC 001
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 20/09/2026#SportingKC 's first corner goal of 2026 is one they've tried many times before, and Meyer has got his head to it a few times before, but never dealt with it as well as tonight. Deft deflection. 000
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 19/09/2026That cross from Roberts was so plumb it should be up for goal of the season on its own. Put that in the football reference library for posterity. #ReadingFC 220
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 04/09/20262.02 Goals per 90 minutes over these first 3 games. 1.08 Goal Contributions per 90 minutes over all 27 league appearances he's made for #ReadingFC. Goals are not supposed to be as easy as Jack Marriott makes them seem. 000
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Our goalkeeping is Soft. The answer has to be different in 2027. Which is too far away for this team. #sportingkc 000
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 30/08/2026#SportingKC has addressed last game's corner defense failure by moving the zonal markers who let the ball in to help w the man marking. A base 2 defense requires a smart shallow zoner and a dominant, but more importantly, excellent reader of the ball at center 6. We'll see if Mosquera is that. 100
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Twellman is wrong again (because he's never watch #SportingKC play before). Bassong is playing back zone. He's pointing at Fafa cause he's free. Regardless, it's everyone else in the zone who fails. Calheira has to clear. When he doesn't, Meyer has to clear. When he doesn't, Mosquera has to clear. 100
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Twellman just described Berg Johnsen as a "quick" outlet. Which means he's only watched highlights and not all the other times LBJ needlessly slowed the attack to look at 3 other worse options before passing the ball after the defense was back in shape. 000
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Been wondering about this since the Manu move started being talked about. Sporting had 2 DPs to start 2026, put in a playing style that suited neither, and waited for ownership situation to free up money to change lineup. And I should know better than to ever think otherwise, but I feel used. 100
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 18/08/2026So, we played him < 75% of mins this season, benched him, and thus never got his full effect on the pitch; and now we've termed his contract so we'll get no money from moving on from him. A wasted buy. Another wasted season. #SportingKC (no, I'll be optimistic when they again give me reason to be) 000
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Gaahhh I'm so tired of trying to understand what #SportingKC is doing. When do we get back to a point where I can just trust them again? Offered the choice, I'd get rid of Wicky every time before sidelining Garcia. I've seen nothing yet that tells me Wicky has quality. I've seen it from Manu. 200

steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Including today, Jack Marriott currently averages 1.08 goal contributions every 90 mins he's on the pitch for #ReadingFC. That ties him w/Jahmari Clarke, who scored 2 in 1 half and 0 in 11 other apps. He's also now even with Ehibhatiomhan & Ejaria on 22 total goals & assists for RDG in league play. 010
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Jack Marriott remains the same. Unfortunately, so do Reading. 111
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 15/08/2026And starting this season 3 for 3. Honestly, none like him at the moment. Unreal. 000
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Like I and everyone else have said: let's have Marriott healthy all season please. 100
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Just waking up to say Jack Marriott scored 16 goals last season in just over 1700 mins on just 54 shots (10 out, 41 pen, 3 box), and that was a +170% return over what the average #ReadingFC player (2013-) would've done & +130% over avg RDG striker, so I've decided he should stay healthy this season. 110
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 09/08/2026AMC's Interview with the Vampire season 3 (aka The Vampire Lestat) episode 3 is masterful television. Both in the context of the series and to the episode itself. 081
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 02/08/2026I liked what I saw from Mosquera. Looks confident and plays with an ease to him. Could be a real find if he can stay locked in. I have worries that Blorian suffers from doing too much, especially defending corners, but better proactive than reactive. 010
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Where is goalkeeping on Lee's priorities? Cause I don't think it's high enough. And I'm about out of sympathy for Wicky. Our most dangerous player in this type of game, instead of sticking him further forward, he drops him to right back while asking our other runner to help in midfield. #SportingKC 100
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Been very disappointed with Berg Johnsen of late. Plays with too little urgency in either direction. Always slows the ball down offensively, too often too slow tracking back defensively. Could forgive one of those if the other was a benefit. And now to have seen himself off and us down to 10, sigh. 000
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 30/07/2026It's funny to remember that Armas started the season trying to stick Bethune out on the left side. #KCBaby 000
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 23/07/2026One of #SportingKC's best team goals all season. And more Manu shots are good for everyone. 000
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 05/07/2026This France Paraguay referee should never get another World Cup match. 100
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 01/07/2026I was right about everything I ever said about Michael Olise, and I'll go to my grave believing we'd have made the playoffs if Pauno had spent as much time freeing him as he did trying to reign him in. He was, is, and shall be a joy to watch. #ReadingFC 000
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 18/06/2026I don't mind this for the Current. I actually probably like it. She'd become a player without a position thru not much fault of her own. So, this move didn't work, and we still need a replacement for Claire, which I'm still mad about. 010
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 14/06/2026If you're coming to Kansas City for the World Cup, skip the lines at Joe's imo. Go to Scott's straight from the airport, go to Meat Mitch if you're south, hit up Wolfpack near the river market & grab a drink to go from Cafe Cà Phê after, or get in line at Chef J in the West Bottoms on the weekend. 000
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 24/05/2026In my charting (I'm not infallible), this is the 2nd all time goal the Current have given up right off a throw-in. The first was in 2024, a 1-goal loss in Carolina. Later that season, they scored from an opponent throw at Bay in a 1-0 win, so it evened out that season. ##KCBaby 010
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Portland Thorns have my favorite warmups of everyone I've seen, nwsl or mls. Everyone drilling things they're actually gonna do in the game, including being a 9 with back to goal and runners cutting off. Very useful. ##KCBaby 000
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Bad subs tonight. Despite having goal, Harris was tired 1 up top when Calheira went off. By time Shapi came on for Capita, Harris was yet more tired. Especially when either side, Capita would've been against a back that hadn't faced him. Alas, much better football going into the break. #SportingKC 010
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 24/05/2026All there is to know about #SportingKC first half. Also 1 bad, out of the game plan pass from Meyer. 100
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 24/05/2026The only two things true about this game: Football is finishing. Football is cruel. 000
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Week ago, we were on track to be worst team in MLS history & every MLS podcast devoted segments to how bad we were. Since, 2 wins off tweaks in strategy. I could complain about why it took so long but I'd rather give Wicky & staff credit for finding a forward way for this squad to play. #SportingKC 010
steven @cabin-13.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Garcia doing exactly the thing he needs to do to grow his game and this team's potential: Shoot on goal. That it was also a goal, hallelujah and many more. #SportingKC 100
